Re: HELP - what can I plant now?
The kohl rabi is quite a good one to sow as the pests don't seem to like it much. The slugs and snails have a nibble but the cabbage white butterflies and flea beetle don't seem to like it much.

Re: Sorting out a severely burnt pan
geez!, i'd wonder what brown sauce does to your insides as well if it can shift burnt on food :shock: another good one is a dishwasher tablet if you've got one......cover the area with hot water pop in a tab and let it soak for a while, then scrub and repeat as necessary. i'm currently living in as ...

Re: Eco dating
Why do you need a specifically eco site ? There must be lots of like minded people out there on regular sites that could be picked out by their profile. I met my OH on a general friendship site and we are pretty eco! :mrgreen: my answer to this is, there are alot of players/time wasters about, and ...

Re: cheap greenhouses
i hope the quality is better than the smaller versions ,i bought two last spring none made it through to winter. it seemed to have good reviews(always taken with a pinch of salt), and i figured £20 was ok to spend to try the whole greenhouse thing out...can i cope with overseeing that and the plot,...
